this is what i would think a barb who wont lose agro to aps will look like in damage.

no gear cos its not the main issue in this thread.


why dual hammer cos minimum base damage is superior to all the other type of damage and i would hate to hit min min min and max in that order.

so a higher minimum with a lower maximum for a str barb would do much better.

anything to take agro back from 5aps is my new goal and i think this can work.

    Unfortunately a decent sin or bm's dph is still over half of that, attacks over 6 times faster than that, has 7 times the crit%, much higher accuracy (although this is almost moot, since accuracy can be glitched), and perma sparked. I know its missing chest, pants, wrist and boots but the DD difference is still amazing between that build and an equally geared aps sin/bm. They would out DD you by about x10.

    The bleed proc is also... undesirable? When you are talking a 37k ave dph you want a zerk proc for damage. 5k bleed damage over 15 seconds will hardly matter and won't stack much with only a .83 aps rate. Other procs like Pierce that lower mob defense would help the aps DDs get aggro more than it'd help you. A few procs would help you more like Revenge, Sacrificial Strike, Provoke...

    And as for picking hammer, it really doesn't matter in pve. You gave the 'low low low high' as undesirable but that's just as likely as "high high high low" which would be more desired. In PvE axe vs hammer really doesn't matter because they average out to the exact same damage. In PvP the spike damage of axes is more important because you'll be looking for charm jumps or burst damage, specially when a high damage hit is combined with a zerk or crit. So you may as well pick axes since its better in one area and equal in the other.




    How barbs will take back aggro from 5 aps?... Do more damage. On my server we have 3 top TW factions, but only one really specializes in TW only. They have the vit clerics, the sage vit barbs, the axe/vit BMs, the demon psychics... Characters that are typically of less use in a PvE squad, but excel at TW. If you want to excel at pve and holding aggro, get more damage and design your character around the game as it currently is. Don't Q.q that you can't be designed for cata pulling and designed for PvE at the same time, because thats not how the game is designed. I'm not arguing what it "should be" and I'm not going to theorize on what the game makers intended, I'm just saying that as it currently is the best way to hold aggro is with damage and the best way to create massive damage is by increasing your attack rate.

    i recognise what ur saying but i have not shown all i will wear as its armor wish have nothing to do with what i am.

    for example i could make nirvana gear and recast untill i get all pieces str based but that is just example

    also if put gof on hammer it would not be just 33k-40 it would be 66k-80k + ream no way 5aps would agro that and i am way from getting the wanted str i want on the pieces i shown.

    i just think going claw is totally wrong but that is me we use axe and have ream for a reason.

    i will also have 70 attack lv on top of it.

    i gona do everything to make sure my barb keep his tank status with his axes vs anything

    my minimum damage is the highest a vit axe r9 barb have so in no way am i bad.

    sooon we gona get a new recast so who know what that will bring cant wait to see my sparked damage will we with that.

    Not even close.

    Don't need to see the rest.

    for example i could make nirvana gear and recast untill i get all pieces str based but that is just example

    nirvana gear can't get new stats just re-roll of the one random one on it

    also if put gof on hammer it would not be just 33k-40 it would be 66k-80k + ream no way 5aps would agro that and i am way from getting the wanted str i want on the pieces i shown.

    the dual hammers you shown can't even get rip, you obviously have no idea about most of the gear you're showing in the first place.

    i just think going claw is totally wrong but that is me we use axe and have ream for a reason.

    perfectly fine just make sure you have good set of friends that will take you through nirvy and do other things with you because you wont be able to solo anything efficiently.

    i will also have 70 attack lv on top of it.

    sins will have 100+ with frenzy.

    i gona do everything to make sure my barb keep his tank status with his axes vs anything

    there is nothing more any barb can do to try and take aggro back in this game anymore.

    my minimum damage is the highest a vit axe r9 barb have so in no way am i bad.

    full str r9 barbs with higher atk rate and higher atk lvls then you still can't keep aggro to minimal refined weapon sins, you can't even being to imagine the top sins.

    sooon we gona get a new recast so who know what that will bring cant wait to see my sparked damage will we with that.

    I hope you have about $15,000 saved up to buy it.

    i have r9 armor +10 you think i cant ooh sorry you must be one of those barb who belive being 5aps barb f2p is the only way to tank.

    just cos you cant get agro dosent mean its impossible.

    i said i was not putting my armor to show just wanted to show str barb could be tanking again.


    if upir ok with light sht armor tanking fine by me but i refuse to let a non tank class take my role when barb was the main tank class.


    it was when i rolled barb ages ago and today is considered a buff hoe and puller
    and if ur ok with that then keep thinking so otherwise help me think of good things to make it roll.

    i alredy looked at a r9 axe wish start at 700-2100 while these hammer start at 1200-1800.

    attack lv is cheap compared to other things like deff lv vit gems etc.

    why are you putting TW out i never asked for tw.
    this is not a pve build only i bet i can 1 shoot any sin with me 3rd sparking without deaden nerv so pk is good to.

    barb is the main tank and that is how it should be

    Yes Barbs Were the tank back before fishies came but now that they are here and nothing will be changed about them its time to realize that our roll can be changed. There is nothing wrong with changing your play style to the current status of the game. As for becoming aps no one said you had too, just if others decide to its not your choice to bash them. Yes we have aggro skills but if something else wants to tank....damn let them. And there are still things that people need a tank for, GV for example, still ran with a lot of Rainbow squads. Even some fbs, Bhs are run that. Not many but some.

    Sorry that you're upset that your roll was changed, its time to move on.

    what i dont get is why you guys act like its nothing unless you really converted to aps urself.

    beside if str build can do more dd then claw barb shouldent be play str barb to keep to our axes instead of imitate bm.

    ok, i added 200 str to your build, assumed 100 attack levels, assumed permaspark and still get 72k dps (which i doubt it could hold aggro even from casters). even if the bleed procs every second and stacks for 15sec that's still 77k dps. I think that poison fang but it should be ~10k so we are still at 87k/s. ok, if we assume that you spam flesh ream that would go up to 90k/s; still far away from the 180k/s of the 5aps g13+10 sin...

    ofc perhaps i'm missing something...

    in any case, I dont understand why you are ok with compromising to keep aggro through damage and restat to str but not ok with using claws to do that...

    I did convert, so say your doing 60k per hit, well when im perma sparked with 5 aps with 59% crit, i do about 35k-40k a crit. Now times that by 5 aps (thats per second) plus perma spark your still not getting aggro, unless im sparked and even then ill take it right back. So all in all I'm a barb and i still would hold aggro from you str build or not. b:byeb:laugh

    Nice O'malley's Blessing there, pro-DD.

    To illustrate the damage difference between a ''traditional'' barb vs. a stabby fish:

    I tweaked that build a bit.

    So, assuming you just use normal attack (skills don't make a huge difference once you get a ridiculous base dmg. like that, and it would be harder to calculate DPS) your DPS would be:
    (27802 + 45511) / 2 = 36656.5 average base damage.
    
    Now we multiply that with these stats respectively: (attack levels) (critical hit) (attack rate) (enemy defense).
    
    So: 36656.5 * 2.27 * 1.1 * 1.05 * 0.66 = 63430 DPS rounded down.
    

    This is assuming you are permasparked, which isn't really possible without dedicating your genie to gaining Chi (you can't really use EP or Mire since other DD's would benefit just as much from that) and having a veno (or several?) backing you up with sparks.

    Now let's do the same with this humbly equipped fish.
    ( (11635 + 14566) / 2 ) * 1.3 * 1.36 * 5.0 * 0.66 = 76433 DPS rounded down.
    

    He'd have no problem keeping himself permasparked so he can use his genie to frenzy, increasing his DPS by even more.

    So in conclusion? Even with a set well over 10 times as expensive, permasparking being counted in your favor and using DoT's as a barb (lol), an average assassin will still do ~20% more damage.

    easy is mostly for the perma spaking players i am still stuck with limited chi.

    wish remind me as to why i never lved my sin past 60 and psy over 20s i know the ywas easy mode.

    barb like most old classes have back draws tide dont but i am not asking to nerf them i am asking to get my role in the game back.


    they payed there OPness with aps so i am asking gm to let me pay so i can keep my role as tank.

    Try and keep aggro from a r9 archer before you try and keep if from a sin. If aggro ping-pongs, then keep re-rolling until you get it right.

    May I need to say but Barbs can have amazing damage with claw, you just lack the knowledge on this subject. If a barb can hold aggro from a r8 5 aps sin, or even a 5 aps bm who sucks a dps....... hmmm lets see here oh right the barb who fails to see the lack of tanking materials that the game has lost. Please enjoy as i go solo frost oh and hh and wait hold aggro from sins or bms your choice.

    no gear? what for?

    why dual hammer cos minimum base damage is superior to all the other type of damage and i would hate to hit min min min and max in that order. I guess hammers are an ok choice, not as much spike damage but better overall base damage

    so a higher minimum with a lower maximum for a str barb would do much better.
    yeah, like we need anymore str.
    anything to take agro back from 5aps is my new goal and i think this can work.
